MONEY MAIIKET AFD COMIKEILOP,I INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors, at their weekly court, to-day, have not made any further alteration in their discount quotation, and this fact, together with the small demand now experienced for accom modation has engendered an easier feeling in monetary circles. The general rate has been lowered to 81 per cent. for bankers' acceptances of that date, and 81 per cent, is the average for longer dated securities. At an extraordinary general meeting to-day of sharr.holders of the London Joint Stock Bank, the recointions previously passed, increasing the capital to £4,000,000 by the creation of 20,000 new shares of ;E6O each, were confirmed. About £1,500 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1864. 1863.

Two O'CLOCK. 8 At the Paris Bourse this day, according to 8 8 Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Routes were quoted 66f. 70c. The market for English Stocks to-day has been favourably influenced by the corrected accounts respecting the Indian Exchanges. Yesterday 8 afternoon prices suffered rather considerably through different telegrams giving different quota. tions, and there was great fear that larger quan. titles of silver would have been shipped.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. BOW-STREET. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—James Connor, a °eater monger, was placed at the bar before Mr Vaughan, charged with assaulting the police. Police-constable 55 E, said he was on duty yesterday in Holborn, when a gentleman informed him that a man in a state of intoxication was annoying :several persona ; he proceeded to the spot, and told the prisoner that if he did not walk on quietly he should take him into custody. lie then crossed over the road and entered a publichouse ; in a short time, however, he left and re crossed the road and commenced a disturbance. He (wit ness) then finding remonstrance in vain, attempted to take him into custody, when a violent struggle ensued. The prisoner being the stronger man of the two overpowered the constable to some extent, and nitima'ely ho seized hold of his truncheon case (a portion of the new uniform) hanging by his side, and after swingiag him backwards and forwards by it, ho gave a sudden jerk, and getting the case over his shoulder car ried the constable for some distance hanging at his (pri goner's) back. He then thew witness down, kicked him, and was attempting to escape when the constable got upon his feet and again seized hold of him. Another struggle ensued, and eventually it took the united exertions of five constables to convey him to the station -house. Mr Vaughan asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge. _ _ _ Prisoner said he was so drunk that he did not know what he was about. The magistrate ftaed him 40s for the assault, or to be committed to prison in default of payment. WESTMINSTER. PARENTAL AFFLICTIONS,—Johrt Mellish, a boy between 10 and 11 years of age was charged with robbing his master. Mr G. F. Sergeant, newsvendor, Brunswick-row, Brewer's-green, Westminster, said that the prisoner had been in his employment four or five weeks. On the sth of September, he gave him 3s Gd to insert an advertisement in the Daily leleyraph, and 2s 31 to fetch some evening papers. Instead of inserting the advertisement he decamped with the money, He however purchased the evening papers and delivered them. He had not seen any more of him till last night when he was taken into custody, Mr Selfe—Have you ascertained that the advertisement was never taken. Prosecutor—Certainly. The prisoner admits it himself, and says he spent part of the money. Tho mother of the boy, a very respectable-looking woman, who was in court, was directed to stand forward. Mr Selfe—Has your boy ever done any thing of this sort before. The mother (bursting into tears) —Frequently ; and I am sure I don't know what I shall do with him. He took a shilling from a young person a short time ago, and I gave him half-a-crown directly afterwards to go and get some bread, and I never saw him again for some days till he was brought home in the most wretched condition, and I was obliged to take off and destroy everything he possessed. Another time he took is 6d, and was boa for some time. He has been away for a month at a time. _ _ _ Mr Selfe (to prisoner)—Where have you been from the sth ? Prisoner—About the Haymarket. Mr Selfe—What have you been doing there ? Prisoner —Opening cab doors. Mr Selfe (to the mother)—Have you any other children ? The mother—l am a widow left with nine children. This is the youngest but one. I have done the best I can for them all, and am truly sorry it has turned out so bad in this instance. _— Mr Selfs—How do you get your living ?~ The mother—By charring at gentlemen's houses, and by any other work that I can get. Mr Self a—You can do nothing with the boy ? The mother—Nothing. Mr Selfe—The best thing that I can do for you will be to send him to a reformatory. I shall send him for 3 years to the Industrial School at Fulham. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. UTTERING FICTITIOUS CHEQUES —George J. Arthur, described as an auctioneer, charged with obtaining money by means of a fictitious cheque from Mr Amy, barman to Mr Weller, licensed victualler, of Goodge-street, and Mr Nurse, clerk to Mr Richards, auctioneer, of Charlotte-street. Fite rey-square, was again brought before Mr Knox. The court was crowded by persons who had cashed cheques for the prisoner. The evidence taken on the last occasion being read over, Mr John Watson, of 44, Great Queen •street, said on the 221 of June, 1863, he took a cheque (produced) for rent. Mr Knox said as that was the case ho did not think it worth while to trouble Mr Watson to give evidence, but he could attend at the trial. Mr Moore, 118, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, licensed victualler, said—On the 10th of August, 1861, the prisoner called with a gentleman and asked him to cash a cheque which he left with him, and on the 11th of August the prisoner called again, and he then cashed it. It was presented at the bank and returned "no account," he (Mr Moore) having paid it into his brewers. The prisoner endorsed the cheque in his (Mr Moore's) presence, Mr (low, of the firm of Serle, Low, and Co., said no per sons of the name of Thomas Williams and Co. had an ac count at their bank in Leicester-square. In answer to Mr Knox, the witness said the prisoner had an account at their bank, but it had been closed—the account was opened in February and closed in June. The signature of George J. Arthur on the cheque, and that of George J. Arthur in their signature book, were in the same hand writing. Mr Knox said he thought sufficient goods to charge the prisoner with obtaining money from the persons by con spiring with others. Mr Asher Solomon, 35, Golden-square, said, on the Ist of July, 1863, he cashed a cheque for the prisoner, and it was returned to him, some days after he had paid it away, by a gentleman from the London and Westminster Bank dishonoured. In answer to the prisoner, Mr Solomon said he went to the place, and saw the name of Nelson, Gibbs, and Co. up, but could not find any of the persons, Mr W. H. Sidey, of Ileworth, said—ln July last he was a clerk in the London and Westminster Bank, and when he presented the cheque at the offices of Nelson, Gibbs, and Co., he found closed doors, as he did on several after occa sions. Mr Barned, of 3, Bond-court-house, Walbrook, said in June a person, who said he was Mr Gibbs, came and took two rooms on the second floor, and had subsequently the names of Nelson, Gibbs, Prince, and Co. painted up. They were in possession from June to August, and during that time a person calling himself Prince came to the plaoe. Ha had seen the prisoner at the place a few times. The evidence having been read over the prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. VIOLENT ASSAULT BIC A SON ON lIIS MOTIIER...— John Casey, a powerful young man, was charged before Mr Page with violently assaulting Mary Hartings, his mother, who carried on a small general business at Wapping. _ Complainant stated that for the last three months the prisoner and his wife had been lodging with her and wore supported by her. On Monday last he was very violent and assaulted her, but she did not give him in charge. About 7 o'clock last Right she was in her shop when the prisoner came in and raused to leave. Upon complainant insisting that he should leave he seized hold of the scales and struck her on the head with them. He also broke a pane of glass, and observed that he wanted to kill the child. Mr Paget—Did he strike you more than once ? Complainant—He tried to do so, but I got out of his way. Ido not want to hurt him. All I want is, for him not to come and annoy me. His wife has been compelled to take out a summons against him for an assault. Mr. Paget—The complainant is very forbearing. Will you promise not to go to the old lady, and not annoy her any more Y Prisoner—l will, sir. Mr Paget—lf I went into the ease, in all probability, I would send you to prison. I will hold you to bail, and mind you do not go to her house. The prisoner was hold to bail to keep the peace for six months.

Loss OF SHEEP BY GRAZING ON BARLEY STUBBLE.—Last week the flock of ewes belonging to Mr Gent, of Saxon-street, Woodditon, were turned into a field of barley stubble in which they ate too greedily of the scat tered corn, and in the course of a short time were danger ously effocted, As soon as their condition was discovered they were dr:yen into pasture ground, and everything that was deemed necessary was done, but notwithstanding the efforts of many acquainted with the management of flicks, between 00 and 70 fine ewes died. Many more ate seriously blown and still in danger, but wo hope that Mr Gent's loss will not be increased.—Bttry any' Norwich Lost, The Prince and Princess of Wales in Denmark, COPENHAGEN, Saturday Nigh.% Interested as all the better classes here in their own quiet hospitable fashion are that the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales should be produc tive of pleasure, and th a t n ot a word hurtful to their feelings, or thos e o f an y Englishman, should as far as possible be spoken, it is evident that the subject uppermost in their thoughts is the final decision upon the Schleswig-Holstein question. Their ears are strained to catch any rumours upon this point ; and well they may be, for the result must exercise a direct influence upon their very existence as a nation. So much has been said and written on this disastrous controversy already that an apology for alluding to it farther might be neces sary, were it not th a t i n t h e di n o f conflicting argu ments some are audibl e t h a t well deserve to be weighed by the En g li s h peo ple. The Danes say, and with great show of reason, that if a solemn European settlement, guaranteed by the signatures of all the great nations, be only valid for ten years, at the end of which time, or earlier if they choose, the contract is to b e t orn i n p i e ces by bayonets, there is no longe r any sec u rity for the existence of small States. Th ese w ill b eco me, as Metternich said of Italy, mer e " geograp hical expressions," and a policy of invasion and annexation no longer confined to one great empire, but condoned by the action at lea s t o f a ll th e Powers, will trail itself like a great re d d ragon all over Europe. The Danes have mad e up their minds that no extremity in which th e y may b e placed will now induce the English to lift a finger in their behalf. With this conviction th e y f or tified Copenhagen as strongly as they could, a n d th e guns even now re main in position. Some of the most enlightened men go the length of admitting that, viewed from a purely English point of view, England , perhap s, has not sufficient interest in the preservation of Danish independence and the integrity of the Danish monarchy to induce her to take up arms. But, what a prospect, they add, does the action of that country open up for the world at large! With all the other giant States of Europe, conquest, an nexation, and; territorial re arrangements are day dreams which their statesmen are ever striving to fulfil. England was regarded as the unfailing guar dian of public order, by tradition, by sentiment, and by natiosal interest, as the sworn supporter of international good faith, Once she declares that only pecuniary conditions are strong enough to in duce her to fight, and in a diplomatic sense-- n'y a plus des Pyrennees. To the Danes, as well as to many, doubtless, of the Germans, the conduct of Prussia in the late war was a painful surprise. Denmark believed, in common with all the rest of the world, when the contest began, that she would only have to deal with the troops of the German Confederation. For these she believed herself to be quite a match, and, moreover, she counted on the support of Sweden. Between these two Scandinavian kingdoms there is scarcely that amount of cordiality which in many parts of Europe has been supposed to exist. They are ancient enemies and rivals, and entente cordiale be it was only in the lifetime of the late Ki ng o f Den mark that familiar intercourse betw een th e Sove rtewigeentst tlaidhe people.the foundationed Sweden of an undoubtedly would have been willing to aid the Danes against the Confede ration ; but to wage war against Prussia and Aus tria was a very different undertaking, even without the hint asserted and reasserted to have been given by Russia, notwithstanding the strongest denials. Austria, in the course upon which she enters in the event of any European convulaion, always exhibits much of the fatal facility of the perfect gentleman who is prevented by every courtesy from saying " No." Prussia, on the contrary, dragged along by sheer force of volition its obliging though half repentant colleague. But in achieving this object Prussia abandoned its traditional policy, which con sisted in holding cut to Germany, but to Germans only, the glitter and parade of military power, so at tractive to the minor States whose adhesion it was desirous of securing. To the rest of Europe it was anxious to appear solely in the light of a barrier, whose strength existed, and was reserved for pur poses of defence. Disguise now is no longer pos sible ; the spirit of conquest has revealed itself toe nakedly, and clear-headed bystanders see that the real difficulties of Prussia will commence the Ten moment that peace has been signed. To-day was the first since the arrival in Denmark of the Prince and Princess of Wales that there has been anything like fine weather. The skies, it is true, looked as regards the future decidedly unset tled, but still the s un s h on e a little, and no rain fell, so that it was p oss ibl e to g et about otherwise than in closed carri ages . The royal party had set themselves vigorously w i t hin doors to counteract the dispiriting influence of the continual rain. All those expedients which in English country quarters contribute so materially to while sway the tedium of an enforced stay in the house, with others having their origin in Denmark itself, were brought into requisition. And probably in future domestic gatherings held at home under similar circumstancee the Scandinavian version of " hunt the slipper"— for which a ring is here substitnted—will lose none of its popularity, from the fact that it yielded plea sure to a large circle in which their royal high nesses were foremost in enjoyment of the sport Some members of the circle at Frendensborg, among others Lord Spencer, made short excursions in the vicinity of the Castle, or fished in the Esrom Lake, Between the officer s o f t h e O s borne and the Aurora a cricket match to o k p l ace , in spite of the heavy rain, which resulted i n a v i c tory for the Aurora by 17 runs. This afternoon, about 1 o'clock, their royal high nesses and the different members of the roya family availed themselves of a favourable change in the weather to drive from Frendensborg Castle as far as Elsinore, having of necessity been able to give but a cursory glance at that point on the day of their arrival. The distance, which take s rather more than a hoar to drive, was performed in open carriages, the first a capacious waggonesh ape d v ehicle containing all the members of the Royal families of England and Danmark at present stay. i n eatFrendensborg,their suites respectively follow ing in open barouches. The Prince of W a l es and the Crown Pri nce o f Denma rk wore undress uni forms r e e f General es o ce r s the i eh are Princess admire appead a the lffiight t hts h so NVae ably suited to her complexion. The coachmen and and footmen were all arrayed in full Danish livery of scarlet and gold, with gold laced hats. The first point of interest visited was the Castle at Kronborg, upon or near the site of which, from the earliest period of history, a castle of some kind was built for the protection of the Sound. That which now exists was commenced in the year 1577, and completed about in 9 years. The monarch of that day, Frederickhad Idetermined to re- erect it on a scale of unprecedented grandeur, and this he was well enabled to do, the proceeds of the sup pressed monasteries, church plate & having• 0. , just come into his han ds. The praises of Kronborg, which is one of the most perfect specimens remain ing of that of the architecture era, Were sung by Bishop Kingo, the Scotchman, and by Tycho Brahe. The hand of the renovator is visible here and there, but, on the whole, few castles in the course of 300 years h eve been altered so little, At one time there were paintings by Rubens in the chapel, but these have disappeared. to Danish traditions Kronborg owes its fame mainly to the supposed residence of llolger Dauske, iu one of the case_ mates far down below which can hold upon a pinch 1,000 meth When the State is in danger he COWS to the surface and heads its armies, but mean 7411iile he steeps tranquilly with his beard grow ing into the marble table before him. Such is the Danish legend ; but in English eyes the castle has far greater interest from its connexion with the sad story of Caroline Matilda, the Danish Merit- Antoinette. Sister of George 111. of England and wife of the weak, if not vicious, Christian VII of Denmark, s he fell the victim of a plot formed by the Queen Mother to seize upon the Government. Torn from her palace in Copenhagen, half-dressed, in the middle of the night, and subjected to an in famous and unfounded charge, she was confined at Elsiuore till au English fleet effected her release and obtaiued her removal to Hanover, where she died at the early age of 23. In the lest century every voice in Denmark pronounced her guilty, and held that her supposed crime should have been expiated on the scaffold, the Prime Minister and several of his adherents having already been put to death as her acccmplices. Now, with fuller information, public opinion proclaims her innocence and deplores her fate. At Frederickrborg Castle is still to be seen the portrait of the unhappy Queen, who wrote with a diamond upon one of the windows in that building the touching prayer— "Oh, keep me innocent; make others great." Kronborg Castle is not without other mementoes interesting to English visitors. On the exterior of the castle, called Frederick M.'s battery, under the windows of the upper story, runs a cornice richly ornamented in the style of the earlier part of the 17th cf_seatury, in the divisions of which, among the medallion portraits of certain personages of the Royal family of Denma-k, is one of King James I. of England, then James VI. of Scotland, and ano ther of his consort Anne, daughter of the Danish K . ng. Two Tudor roses are sculptured at each side of the cornice, and the portcullis is frt quently introduced into the ornamentation—a little piece of family pride for which James might have paid dearly had his assumption of the English badge come to the ears of Elizabeth. As soon as the Royal party had completed their inspection of the castle and fortifications they proceeded on board the Osborne, which conveyed them to Humblebek, where the Danish fleet was anohored at a point of the Sound rather wider than at Elsinore. Here they were re ceived with the usual salutes, and some time was occupied in steaming round the squadron, and afterwards in receiving the principal officers of the fleet. The Royal party returned to Fredensborg Castle by the same route in time for dinner at 8 o'clock, and both in going and returning they were very warmly greeted by the inhabitants of Elsinore, the streets of which, as on the former occasion, were gaily decorated with flags. The movements of their Royal Highnesses hitherto have been governed to a considerable extent by the unfavourable state of the weather, and also by the break in the line of railway communication caused by the slipping of an embankment about 15 or 18 miles from Copenhagen. The Danes everywhere pro vide good carriages, roomy stations, and lay their' lines so well that travelling, though not rapid, is exceedingly smooth and easy. Unfortunately, their engineers seem either to entertain a notion that an embankment once made will last for ever, or else look upon the land devoted to the construction of railways as so much withdrawn from general pur poses, and grudge it accordingly. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that they have made their embankments almost perpendicular on the Elsinore line, the consequence being that when a heavy fall of rain takes place slips of soil occur which not merely shake the long banks of the earth, but in some cases withdraw from the line all support whatever, leaving the rails and sleepers hanging exposed in the air, like a rough piece of lattice or network. When the Royal party move down to Bernstorff Castle they will be within about four miles of Copenhagen, and can drive in and out without inconvenience. This change of residence it is proposed to accomplish on Tuesday next. There is to be a dinner one evening next week at the Bri• tish Embassy in Copenhagen, and there will also be A soiree given, according to one account, at the Chris tianborg Palace, the banquet-hall, or Riddersdal, of which is unrivalled in Europe as to the grandness of its proportions. Oa Tuesday also the Osborne and Salamis will steam np to Copenhagen and anchor off the port; it is probable, therefore, that a succes sion of entertainments will be given on board. Oa some evening not yet fixed the royal party will visit the theatre, not, however, in State, but in order to be present at a:concert given for their entertain ment. This theatre must certainly be classed among the distinguishing features of the capital. The building, which accommodates 1,200 persons, is the property of the King, and is managed by five direc tors, nominated by him. To its maintenance the State devote a sum of 45,000 rix.dollars annually, or more if necessary ; and the condition of the b )nd is that all the performances shall be in Danish. rile pieces put upon the stage are as far as possible by Danish authors, and operas are likewise sung in the language most intelligible to the people. In compliment doubtless to the softer sex the word "Signora" is retained, but a male singer is in variably addressed upon the stage as "Herr." The season extends from the Ist of September to the Ist of June, and during that time the theatre is open every night, Sundays not excepted, the perform ances being varied by the allocation of different nights to particular classes of entertainment. Opera, ballet, tragedy, and comedy, all find a home be neath the same roof, and are impartially fostered by the management. The ballet, however, has been attended with marked success, obtaining a reputa tion for the theatre which extends beyond the limits of this country. The Frightful Tragedy in Preston. PRESTON, Sept. 14. The inquest onn the body of the murdered woman was opened at the police court at noon to-day (Wednesday), be fore Mr M. Myers, coroner. After the jury had been sworn, the Coroner said he did not intend to finish the inquest to-day. He would adjourn it for the purpose of seeing whether Berry recovered or not. lie had been taken to the House of Recovery that morning. [Berry seemed rather better when removed. He walked into the cab which conveyed him.] Mr E. Ambler (foreman of the jury)—Will there be a post-wortem examination of the body ? The Coroner—l do not know. Mr Spencer—l have not yet made a post-mortem exami nation, After some conversation between the jury and Mr Spencer, The Coroner said he thought it would be as well if a post mortem examination was made. The inquest was then proceeded with. Catherine Leach, wife of Edward Leach, 29, Ormskirk road, was the first witness examined. She k aid—l know the deceased, Mary Berry. She was my sister. She was about 33 years of age. Her husband's name is William Berry, miller. They stayed at our house on Monday night. I went for him, and ho came with me. She followed. I saw them before we went to bed on Monday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock. Berry and his wife slept together in the front room, next to our apartment. I never beard anything until about four o'clock, when I got up to quiet the dog, which was downstairs. Berry said he could not sleep on account of it going up and down the stairs. He told me he was frightened of it. I went downstairs, put the dog in the back kitchen, and returned directly afterwards. I went to bed, and had to pass through the bedroom in which they were sleeping. I fastened our bedroom door, which opened into the room in which they were sleeping. After I closed the door Berry got up to see if the door on the landing was fastened. About half-past five the de ceased called on me. She said, " Kate, oh Kate!" I got up and went into the room. I saw her ; she was shouting out of the window. Afterwards I saw her at the door. 1 saw Barry in the room. He had something in his hand. My husband held him down. He (Bony) was trying to cut his throat. When I saw the deceased at the door she was calling out for some one. I went to the window when my husband had hold of Berry, and called out for help. When I next saw the deceased she was upon the sofa down stairs. She was dying. She died between 6 and 7 o'clock. Berry never spoke to me. By a Juror—When I first saw the deceased, Berry was following her towards the window. I did not see him strike her in any way. By the Coroner—When I went for Berry, on Monday night, he said to me, " Will they stone me ?" I replied, "No." Afterwards, when I was taking him to our house, ho said, " I don't see any one laughing at me ;" and I said, "No, what must they laugh at you for ?" By a Juror—He was quite sober. A Juror—Had he been in the habit of drinking ? Witness—Sumetimes. Mr Blackhurst (who appeared for the police)—All tha will be gone into when you meet again. Particulars of his conduct for some time past will be given. In reply to a juror, witness said—l did not see any blo stout the deceased when she was at the window. At thin stage of the proceedings the inquest was adjourned anti' 10 o'clock on Friday forenoon. Tn GUARDS.—'I he Ist Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, which has been Tiartered in the Shcet street Barracks, Windsor, for the last half-year, left the Windsor Station of the Great Western Railway this (Thursday) morning. The battalion, consisting of 17 offi cers, 693 non-commissioned officers and men, with 96 women, and 110 children, proceeded in three special trains —vie die Metropolitan Railway to Farringdon-street, from where the regiment marched to the Tower of London. This morning the 2d Battalion Coldstream Guards, con sisting of 10 officers and 604 non-commissioned officers and privates, left the Victoria Station, Pimlico, at 8 10, and proceeded, eta the Great Western Railway, to Windsor. A Newly-built Blockade Runner. On Tuesday an exciting race came off between the Isle of Man new paddle steamer Douglas—the latest importation on that line—and a blockade runner, or at any rate a " secesh" vessel, called the Colonel Lamb. We need not sing the praises of the Douglas. She is the fastest boat which has left the Mersey for many a long day, and her cap tain and owners need not be ashamed if she has been beaten by the Colonel Lamb, a steel-built paddlewheel steamship —we believe the largest of her class built in England—from the yard of Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co. The two vessels were moored abreast of each other at the Prince's stage about 11 o'clock in the morning. The one was an approved boat which had never been beaten —the other a new boat which had never been tried at sea—t tilt of steel, and, accordilg to modern traditions, much more fragile than an iron boat, whilst her great steam power was considered likely to shake a few rivets. Results, however, proved that the Colonel Lamb was a splendid sea boat ; she was as stiff as could be desired, and there was an entice absence of the osciilation which is frequently found in .boats of her size and flower. The Colonel Lamb was built by Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co., of the South-end. Her length is 2811 ft ; beam, 36ft ; and depth of hold, 15ft 6 inches ; tonnage, o at., 1,788 19 94 ths, giving a cargo tonnage of about 1,200 tons. It is said that the vessel will carry about 2,500 bales of cotton on a draught of Oft. Yesterday she drew 7ft 10in forward and Bft 2in aft, with about 400 tons of coals and stores aboard, and about 100 tons of water in her boilers. She left the Prince's stage about a quarter to 12, under command of Capt. Lockwood, and when outside the Rock lay to until 12.38, when the Manx steamer Douglas came up to her. " Full speed ahead . ' was the order given on board the Colonel Lamb, and the race continued for 2 hours and 31 minutes, during which time the blockader gained on the fastest boat on the Mersey about four miles. Everybody on board the blockader was satisfied that she was all right, and the order was given to put the ship about. This was done, and as she steamed homewards a cheer was given to the Douglas, whose crew and passengers returned the compliment handsomely. We should obaarva that the engines of the Colonel Lamb were con structed by Messrs James Jack and Co., of the Vic toria Engine Works, Sandon Dock. They are a pair of oscillating engines of 350 horse power, and have the advantage of the application of surface condensers, whilst the paddlewheels, which are on the feathering principle, are of 26ft diameter. The coal used was Welsh steam coal, the pressure of steam was 401bs, vaccum 25, and the number of re volutions averaged 30 per minute. By log the ship ran 16i knots, or about 19 miles an hour. The trial trip of the Colonel Lamb has proved a very important matter, and will, we understand, lead to the construction of several more ships on the same principle. Her builders are already inundeted, as it were, with orders; and the firm which has sup plied the engines has several other extensive orders on hand, Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co., we are in formed, have launched, since the commencement of the year, no fewer than 11 ships. The first was a yacht of 52 tons; then came the paddlewheel steamers Badger and Lynx, each of 655 tons. Both vessels were built of cast steel, and the latter one, which was engined by Messrs. James Jack and Co., has proved herself hitherto the fastest and one of the most successful ships running between Bermuda and the Southern ports of the North American conti nent. The largest ocean-going sailing ships, built of steel—the Altcar and the Clytemnestra—have been launched from that yard. An iron sailing ship, the Hecuba,of 1,264 tons, has recently been launched, and the cast steel built paddlewheel steamers Fox, of 532 tons, and Bat and Owl of 800 tons each, have been added to the Liverpool squadron of blockade runners. Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co., have also in hand nine ships of the aggregate tonnage of 9,370 tons, besides some orders which they have been obliged to transfer, and others which are in course of execution, although the vessels are are not yet placed on the stocks, At the trial trip of the Colonel Lamb, there were on board several gentlemen distinguished for their advocacy of the Southern cause ; some of the cfficers of the late unfortunate Confederate cruiser Alabama, and a numerous party of the general public. Beyond "Success to the ship and her captain," no toasts were given, and there was a studied absence of any allusion whatever to the future mission of the vessel. We should, however, be doing a great injustice to the builders of the ship, and to Messrs. Jack and Co., if we did not state that Captain Lockwood, and some gentlemen who were supposed to be at least indirectly connected with the Confederate Govern ment of the Southern States, openly declared that the ship and her engines far exceeded their most sanguine expectations, inasmuch as the wind was almost dead ahead on the outward passage, and the sea heavy. To the best of our humble judgment, the Colonel Lamb is the swiftest vessel that ever went on a trial trip from the Mersey.—Liverpool Daily Post. STATE OF TRADE. DUNDEE, Sept. 13.—Dcar money and rumours of peace in America tend to keep business quiet here, and the business done is entirely consumptive. Flax continues dull, and it is difficult to make sales even with a small concession in price. The inquiry for tow and codilla is also limited, and jute hangs on sellers' hands, quotations being only nominal. The raw material is therefore very lifeless, with prices decidedly in favour of buyers. Some public sales of flax, tow, jute, &c., took place here to-day, and low prices were realised for the portions of the various parcels sold. There was a moderate de. mend for yarns, and where spinners were disposed to meet buyers business was done in all descrip tions, flax, tow, and jute, but not to a great extent. Orders for linen continue to be given out in small quantities, which, with the previous forward sales, keep manufacturers very busy. Prices of all classes of goods, coarse and fine, are now considerably easier than they were, and for extensive orders buyers are feeely met to some extent. LEICESTER, 14th.—The hosiery trade continues in a satisfactory state, and the town and country hands remain well employed, manufacturers having orders on hand which require finishing. At Hinck ley, Loughborough, and the rural districts there is a fair amount of business doing. Yarns are realising very high prices, and spinners are well engaged. The wool market is quiet, and material is selling at high rates. NOTTINGHAM, 14th:—Therc has been less doing in lace goods during the past toy days, most classes of goods sell very slowly, and the: high price of plain nets and heavy goods checks the &mild for those fabrics. There is not so good a sale for black silk laces and narrow edgings, while the demand for silk mechlins and silk quislings is not improved. Buyers purchase very sparingly, and manufacturers confine their production to the demand, all stocks being kept low. The hosiery trade continues fiat, acid there is not much doing for either shipping or for home consumption. Yarns are realising high rates. ROMAN CATIIOLIC CRURCII AT SHEERNESS. — The now Roman Catholic Church at Sheerness, which was consecrated on the 20th of August last, was opened for I.ublic worship yesterday, by Dr Grant, Bishop of Southwark. The church is of ter a design by Mr Pugin, son of the celebrated architect of that name, in the style of the decorated Gothic, and is intended to supply the place of the incommodious leasehold building which has hitherto beeu used fur a chapel. There is a Homan Catholic popula tion iu Sheerness of about 700, g..na there is also a large garrison of soldiers, many of whom aro members (,t that persuasion. The now church will accommodate between 500 and 600 prsons. It is about 100 ft long, by 45ft broad, and is, in the words of Dr Manning, a very beautiful and stately church. The opening service consisted of high mass with musical accompaniment. The sermon was preacbed by the Hight Rev Monsignor Manning , D,D., Provost et the dioccss of Westminster, who took his text from the ht chapter of the Ist Epistle of Pa ul the Apostle to the, Corinthians, "I judge_myself to know nothing amongst you save the Lord Jesus Christ and Him crucified." After some opening remarks, he pointed the attention of his hearers to the controversies which were going on in the world whero they saw men contending, he had almost said, over the grave of Chrirt, but Christ was in heaven. He trusted those contentions would not last for ever, and that the day would come when the hands which were lifted up in controversy would embrace ono another, Ile trusted better things were in store for thew.

Yesterday afternoon Dr Lankester held an inquest at the Vestry-room of St Thomas's, Chancery-lane, on the body of Job Bart lett. an apprentice to a printer, who, by allowing his mind to dwell constantly on the case of Muller, came to speculate on the subject of hanging, and, white making some experi ments, lost his life through a misadventure. It appeared from the evidence of several persons who worked in the printing office of Mr Chipereile, of Chancery-lane, in which the deceased was employed, that they saw him about half-past six on Monday evening, and that ho was found dead at a quarter before seven. Ever since the murder of Mr Briggs his thoughts had run in that direction, and often when speaking of the probable fate of Muller he had said that he should like to be hanged. Edward Ride, an apprentice, who discovered the deceased hanging, said the rope which was about his neck was not twisted, and was only tied by a single knot. His impression, confirmed by many others in the same office, was that the lad was playing at hanging, and that, as he was standing on thick glass let into the floor for the purpose of giving light to the room below, he might have slipped and become en tangled in the rope. He was of a cheerful disposition, and no one ever supposed him to be serious when he talked about his desire to be hanged. The rope was placed in the room for the purpose of pulling up the windows for ven tilation. The coroner, in summing up, inclined to the opi nion that the lad did not intentionally commit suicide, and the jury, adopting the same view of the case, returned a verdict of " Death from misadventure."

Lewis, which has been modelled by Mr Weeks, the sculptor, under the direction of Mr Lowe, M.P., and is also a striking like ness of the deceased statesman, has just been placed in Westminster Abbey by a circle cf Sir George's private friends.

Died April 13, 1363." Herr von Struve, the Russian astronomer, has observed that in and around the neighbourhood of Moscow the pendulum is sensibly diverted from its vertical position. The inference drawn is, that the town is built on strata of extraordinary density, or, the contrary, on an enormous cavern, of 20,000,000 cubic feet in extent. By boring 3,000 feet this cavern is t uppoled to be attainable to the creatures of the surface.
